What about Dogs - She's got a reason?

Also would it be possible to post the actual chart positions of the songs in the results, so we can see how close/far away we were with predictions?

[Robin]

I'm the only one who's predicted Simple Plan "Shut Up" to make the top 40, but it has got some video play and it is quite catchy, so I'd be surprised if it didn't do quite well!

I did consider this, but wasn't sure how well it would do, if you know of a song being released in the coming weeks and you'd like it to be predicted on, please let me know in the threads or by a pm...
As for chart positions of the actual songs, I can add that in as well from this sunday if you like...
Cheers Senior and good luck!
Robin - I'm not sure about the simple plan song myself...tis a strong week this week...

I have Simple Plan at 37 Robin ;D

I agree with the good videoplay but a strong release week could go against it

Simple Plan should do quite well I reckon - they supported Avril last year, and I think they either have already supported Green Day, or will be doing this summer. They're the sort of band that the trendy kids like these days!
